As A Man Thinketh

James Allen took the title for this formidable little book from the maxim, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Written the brink of the twentieth century, Allen's meditation on our ability to govern our own destinies still resounds with vigorous optimism.In essays from "Thought & Character" to the "Effect of Thought on Health and the Body," Allen outlines a philosophy promoting forceful and focused thought as a means to overcome adversity, fulfill the soul, and engender health and well-being. Allen's eloquence draws the reader into a recognition of one of the universe's most powerful dynamics - the direct connection between positive thought and positive results.
